German Emigration Center Bremerhaven (Deutsches Auswanderer Haus)

The German Emigration Center Bremerhaven, also known as Deutsches Auswanderer Haus, is situated on the harbor where millions of German emigrants departed for the New World between 1830 and 1974. This museum delves into the rich history of German immigration and emigration, offering a detailed look at the journeys and experiences of those who left. Visitors can explore the exhibits that recreate the conditions and emotions of the time, and even search for their own ancestors using two international databases. The center provides a tangible connection to the past, allowing guests to understand the historical context and personal stories of emigration.
